FAQs

What kind of paste should I use with this cutter?

This cutter works best with flower paste or modelling paste, as these provide the firmness needed for clean cuts and detailed embossing.

Can I use this cutter for cookies?

While technically possible, this cutter is specifically designed for sugarcraft pastes. The intricate details may not transfer well to cookie dough, which typically requires thicker cutters.

How do I get the best embossed effect?

Ensure your paste is rolled to an even thickness and apply firm, consistent pressure with the cutter. Practicing on a spare piece of paste can help you find the right amount of pressure.

How should I clean the cutter?

Wash gently in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing.

Does the grey color affect the sugar paste?

The grey color is the color of the cutter itself and does not transfer to the sugar paste. It is purely for aesthetic purposes of the tool.

Who designed the Dove of Peace cutter?

The Dove of Peace cutter was designed by Marion Frost, a renowned sugarcraft artist.

Troubleshooting

Paste sticking to the cutter

Lightly dust the cutter with cornflour or icing sugar before pressing into the paste. Ensure your paste is firm enough; if too soft, it may stick more readily. You can also try refrigerating the paste briefly before cutting.

Cut edges are not clean

Ensure you are using a firm, well-conditioned paste. Apply even pressure when cutting. For intricate details, a sharp cutting edge is crucial. Consider using a non-stick board for rolling your paste.

Embossed design is too faint

Apply firm, consistent pressure when embossing. You may need to go over the embossed area slightly more than once. Ensure the paste is not too dry, which can make embossing difficult.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
